Ecr33 Fron wheel bearing Maintenance question - 32mm Bolt Torque?

[drpheel]

I'm in the process of changing the front wheel bearings on my ecr33 Skyline and I notice in the manual there is no torque spec for the big 32 mm nut that holds the spindle / hub assembly onto the knuckle . In fact , in the FSM I don't even see the that specific bolt in the part breakdown. I notice that the nut was punched on the edges to secure on the stud it threads on so i'm not sure if I just seat it properly and punch it or if it has to be set to a specific torque.

the picture below will give you a Idea of the Nut i'm talking about if my explanation is unclear. i know its a rear hub and not from a skyline but its to give you a idea of the nut i'm talking about

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated , Thanks !

There's not really a torque setting.  These things are done up to a "feel".

Thanks for the reply GTSBoy - I ended up calling a buddy that looked in a USDM shop manual on his computer at work. Since its the same bearing as a 300z I assume its the same torque spec. The manual listed a torque of 200Ft/lbs so I wont take any change and follow the FSM as both have same bearing and setup according to the part breakdown

Haha.  I just realised you were talking about the nut on the back!

 

Your other option for this sort of info is the R32 GTR manual which has been downloadable from your uncle Torrence for many years, if you don't already have it.

I got mine via http (off a site somewhere).

yeah but this is for a 2wd not 4wd as the 4wd bearing is held by the nut at the end of the driveshaft, so GTR manual not helpful

When you can't find a specific torque work from the diameter of the bolt/stud it is going on, 200ft/lb is about right for an M18 bolt assuming 8.8 strength
